Rabanne SS26 Showroom
When your friend invites you to a designer re-see, you absolutely MUST go. It is private, it is exclusive and it comes with delectable snacks and models that stay with you for as many pictures as your heart desires. There is no check-in anxiety at the entrance, no crowds to push through or seats to fight for. There is even a personal curation of the entire collection by a very knowledgeable Sasha. This absolutely is the most luxurious way to see a collection.
Julien Dossena's SS26 collection, titled The Wakening, channels 1950s beachwear with a futuristic twist, blending optimism and subtle tension. Couture inspired bikinis peek from ruffled dresses, zip front neoprene pants fold elegantly, and side draped skirts pair with oversized belts for nostalgic yet modern silhouettes. Tropical prints in yellow, peach, and emerald shift across cropped shirts and fluid skirts, while lived-in leather jackets add edge to the summery vibe.
Floral embroideries from vintage swim caps evolve into tactile dresses, echoing the mylar flowers spotted in the showroom. Metal "car crash" skirts clank dramatically, metallic pumps bend like leaves, and silver floral jewelry drips with fruit motifs for wearable art. Feathered heels and oversized swim goggles amplify Rabanne's bold codes, perfect for transitioning beach escapism to street style.
This collection redefines luxury through deconstructed swimwear and vibrant plaids, inviting us to rethink wardrobes with conscious, story driven pieces. Sasha's curation made every detail unforgettable, proving re-sees are the ultimate fashion intimacy.
